“…Given the complexity of modern supply chains (Bode and Wagner 2015;Aqlan and Lam 2015;Harland et al 2003), broad aspects of supply risks and impacts of disruptions (Harland et al 2003;Lintukangas et al 2016), as well as challenges in definition, quantification, and modeling of supply chain risk (Heckmann et al 2014), this framework does not aim to provide a precise assessment of all possible supply risks related to all hazards in a supply chain. Instead, this study divides the upstream supply chains to "resource origin" and "distribution" segments and aims to propose a method to assess only the most relevant geostrategic supply risk of the resources' origin.…”

Summary Among other concerns, safeguarding the supply chains of raw materials is an important task for industrial companies. Therefore, not surprisingly, the number of scientific publications concerning the evaluation of resource criticality has increased in recent years. However, it was noticed that currently published methodologies are too complex to be applied by industrial companies on a daily basis. For this reason, the need to develop a methodology that would allow not only assessing resource criticality, but could also be integrated into widely applied methodological frameworks as an additional driver to improve resource efficiency was identified. Geostrategic supply risk and economic importance were chosen as key indicators to analyze and assess relative resource criticality. The developed methodology was field tested by applying it to a resource‐intensive nitrogen fertilizer production company. Five scenarios for resource efficiency improvements, consisting of cleaner production and industrial symbiosis measures, were investigated. If all the proposed measures were implemented, consumption of natural gas would decrease by 3.552 million cubic meters per year (0.3% of the total consumption). However, not all identified measures contribute to a reduction of the overall criticality of resources for the production company. Nevertheless, the integration of criticality assessments into the widely applied methodologies for development and implementation of resource efficiency innovations is a valuable addition and should be included in the analysis for sustainable innovations and development.

“…It is extensively applied in several fields including managerial decision-making [43]. For example, it has been applied into developing an integrated risk assessment framework for supply chains [44]. To help organizations build influential factors in knowledge management implementation, a fuzzy success possibility index developed by Chang and Wang [39] to provide a platform for the development of knowledge management.…”

Abstract:Environmental friendliness has been regarded as a fundamental characteristic of sustainability and competitiveness, yet such eco-friendliness is often not performed well. Based on the relationship matrix in the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method and fuzzy logic, this paper presents an original integrated approach that, by linking competitive bases, green capabilities, and providers, aims at identifying the most appropriate providers to be implemented by companies starting from competitive characteristics. As an illustration, an international electronics-related manufacturing firm's eco-friendliness developing project is cited which provides evidence of a robust method that can improve the eco-friendliness of an enterprise and enhance competitive advantage. The approach allows for avoiding the risk of misalignments between green providers and competition requirements for practitioners that seek to implement green supply chain management systems.

“…The origin of the supply chain risk is unpredictable variables within an organization, network, or environment. These risks are due to uncertainty in future risk events that can occur at any time in the supply chain [15]. In a complex supply chain network, there is a compulsory need to examine the flexibility and uncertainty for reducing risks.…”
